Phenols (pKa ≈ 10) are more acidic than other alcohols, so they are easily deprotonated bysodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide. The anions of phenols (phenoxide ions) can beused in the Williamson ether synthesis, especially with very reactive alkylating reagents suchas dimethyl sulfate. Using phenol, dimethyl sulfate, and other necessary reagents, show howyou would synthesize methyl phenyl ether.
Acetals are formed from the reaction of two alcohols with a carbonyl under acidic
conditions. Acetal formation is faster with 1,2-ethanediol than with two methanol
molecules.
Choose the factor that explains the difference in reaction rates.
A) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a
lower AH (enthalpy) of reaction.
B) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a
higher AH (enthalpy) of reaction.
C) The reaction with 1,2-ethanediol has a
more favorable entropy of reaction.
Describe how 3-methyl-1-phenyl-3-pentanol can be prepared from benzene. You can use any inorganic reagents and solvents, and any organic reagents provided they contain no more than two carbons.

- A synthetic organic molecule, G, which contains both aldehyde and ether functional groups, is subjected to a series of reactions in a multi-step synthesis pathway. In the first step, G undergoes a Wittig reaction, leading to the formation of an alkene, H. Subsequently, H is treated with an ozone (O3) reagent followed by a reducing agent in an ozonolysis reaction, resulting in the formation of two different products, I and J. Considering the functional groups present in G and the nature of the reactions involved, what are the most probable structures or functional groups present in products I and J? A. I contains a carboxylic acid group, and J contains an aldehyde group. B. I contains a ketone group, and J contains an alcohol group. C. I and J both contain aldehyde groups. D.
